Micron will establish a state-of-the-art memory design center in Atlanta
Micron announced that it will establish a new memory design center in Atlanta, USA. Micron said that this is the most advanced memory design center, and the new site will be officially launched in January 2022. Micron hopes to further expand its business scope through this plan, and at the same time make use of the local technical talent pool. This move will not only enhance Micron’s leadership in memory technology but will also have a positive impact on the local community.
There are many institutions and colleges near the Atlanta area, which have relatively rich educational resources, including Emory University, Georgia Tech, Morehouse College, Spelman College, and the University of Georgia. Micron aims to establish partnerships with local schools to better promote the progress of semiconductor technology. Micron’s new R&D center in Atlanta will provide more than 500 jobs in STEM disciplines such as computer hardware and electrical and electronic engineering.
At present, the share of memory and storage chips in the global semiconductor market is about 30%, and it is growing. Micron’s investment will help further technology research and development.
